Communities across the district came together to celebrate students as they returned to classrooms last week. As a part of our new strategic plan, Seattle Excellence, we are committed to creating warm and welcoming environments for our students, starting on the very first day of school.

Seattle Public Schools is committed to educating children regardless of immigration status. The district reaffirms and strengthens its commitment to provide the maximum legal protection to undocumented students while at school. Our schools are the educational home to students from 150 countries of origin who speak 147 languages or dialects. Diversity is our strength.
